About me

As a therapist, I provide face to face and online confidential counselling in Devon and London. My counselling space whatever the style, is welcoming, relaxed and safe. I trained with the British association of councillors and psychotherapist ( Bacp) and am registered accordingly, therefore I aim to provide ethical, non judgmental and collaborative therapy.

It is normal to feel worried about starting counselling and I will do my best to help you through the sessions.

I offer counselling to young people over 14, individuals and couples. I work with a diverse group of clients from all backgrounds, sexual orientations and genders. I am happy to answer any questions and offer a 20 minute free consultation to help us both decide whether we are the right fit for each other. It is important that you feel happy with your counsellor and I have the right skills and knowledge to support you.

To arrange a free online intro session or ask questions over the phone please get in touch by  messaging me through this profile or call between 9am and 5pm on 07734352167.

Member organisations

BACP
British Association for Counselling & Psychotherapy (BACP)

BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
